## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2026329](/recalls/tc/2026329.md), 2026-07-07: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label lists an incorrect gross axle weight rating \(GAWR\). This could lead you to overload the vehicle, which could cause poor handling or a tire failure. Note: For the Forester model, this recall affects both gas and hybrid models. For the Crosstrek model, only the Crosstrek Hybrid model is affected.  Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Subaru will mail a new compliance label to each owner. If you'd like help to install the label, you can contact a Subaru dealer to have it installed free of charge.
- [2024546](/recalls/tc/2024546.md), 2024-08-15: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French.  Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect vehicle safety.  Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Subaru has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.
- [2023521](/recalls/tc/2023521.md), 2023-09-21: Powertrain. Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the driveshaft center support brace could loosen. If this happens, the front end of the driveshaft could separate.  Safety Risk: A driveshaft that separates could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to clean the bolt mounting surfaces for the driveshaft center support brace and install new bolts.
- [2023211](/recalls/tc/2023211.md), 2023-04-10: Tires. Issue: On certain vehicles, the tires may have been damaged when they were mounted onto the rims in the factory. While you may not be able to see the damage, it could lead to a sudden tire failure. Note: This recall only affects factory\-installed all\-season tires on 20" wheels.  Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Subaru will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the original equipment all\-season tires. Subaru recommends that if the vehicle is equipped with winter tires, you should not re\-install the original all\-season tires, and contact your local dealer.
